Behavior of LSSVM and SVM channel equalizers in non-Gaussian noise

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the behavior of LSSVM and SVM adaptive channel equalizers in environments where the interfering noise exhibits non-Gaussian due to impulsive phenomena. The family of α-stable distributions is used as a suitable and flexible tool for the modeling of signals with impulsive nature. By using computer simulation we show the behavior of both equalizers due to impulsiveness noise influence.
